My passion is creating gentle spaces where women can slow down, reconnect with what matters most and remember they are deeply valued and loved. 

As the seasons of life happen, we all experience challenges of some type, and that's often how we learn.  I've unfortunately become well-versed in the school of life, having experienced a divorce, the loss of both parents, and  a lot of grief and loss in various forms.  While recovering from burnout from high stress career choices and long-distance care-giving, I discovered how to "Just Pause" as a lifestyle.  This helped me to survive, reduce stress and find peace in the process.   

For years, I've had the privilege of listening to people's stories and encouraging women through life's seasons of change.  As an activity program worker for seniors I heard the stories that folks hadn't shared with their families - stories of being a child in the depression and the joys and memories of a simpler time.  As an outreach worker for women experiencing homelessness I heard the stories of struggles and resilience, and as I worked with youth and women of all ages I listened to stories of hope.  Recently, I've had the privilege of leading more than two hundred interviews as women shared their incredible stories of faith within my private facebook group and YouTube channel - "Inspired by Her Story".

One thing I've learned - your story matters!
